With the price of gas consistently above the three dollar mark many people are considering going hybrid.

Hybrid cars get on average 40 miles per gallon which will save you money at the gas pump but there are hidden costs that many buyers do not take into consideration.

High Price
Hybrids are on average two to four thousand dollars more than their non-hybrid counterparts. This is no small chunk of change. You can buy a lot of quality used cars for under four grand these days.
